I love this idea - especially as my last post was about.... books and reading. But... I don't think I've met anyone (besides you!) properly yet. So if it's running all summer maybe that's incentive to get to know people! x
The Canva Glow-Up was super cool! And I love this idea!! <3 I'm heading to your chat and I will be doing the same in my chat - hope we can get lots to participate.
What a brilliant beautiful idea ! I love that the book is wrapped up - like a book blind date 🙊 and am I one of the few people that loves getting snail mail ?!
Hi Claire I love this, and I’m in!! I have someone in mind… just to clarify do I put them forward to receive the book you have wrapped or do I send them a book myself? Sorry for the confusion! Xx
This is a GOOD question and I’ve made it open BUT I’ve asked people to enter for mine in a competition in “chat” just now so you would just do the same or similar with yours in chat! Obviously this is a post but I needed to explain jt all and make a video to link to. Does that help clarify? ✨✨

I think it could run for years if folks keep it going. It's so exciting.
What an awesome idea ❤️
Oh thanks inspired by you all of course. xx
Here is a video of a drawing for the book swap - I really enjoyed this - thanks!

Yay!! ✨✨💕✨
lovely idea
Yay!!!
I love this idea so much Claire!!! Is the idea that the same book would keep getting passed around, or each person chooses a new book to pass on?
Each person would choose a new book or read it and then pass on… it could go for ever I suppose 💗💗
What a wonderful idea! I like the idea of choosing a subscriber, so I can hand pick the book for them! Thank you for thinking of this and sharing it!
Ohhh I love this so much. I can't wait to jump in!
✨🥰✨

I have lost so many of my go to canva buttons! 🙈
Ooh, this is a fun idea
This sounds lovely!! Yes, please, let’s sparkle with book swaps ✨🥰✨💫
This is such a cool idea! And I have a fun bookmark I can include, too. Plus, this could finally be the kick in the pants to explore notes more. 🤔

I love it when it's not junk mail like people offering to buy my house 😄
LOL YESSSSSS or the hundreds of credit card applications 🤪🤦🏻♀️
eeek ours is all stair lift adverts or coach travel lol to be fair we don't get much junk mail.
Love this! Great idea!
Yey, I’d love to give this a go! I already have a few people I’d love to send my own books to once they’re in print.
Love a bookswap! Thank you Jana for sharing the note with me, and thank you for sharing this idea Claire! 💡
I also started a bookswap initiative on my Substack last year - anyone feel free to check it out! 📚

It works a little differently to the way you've outlined here, but lovely idea to move it to chat - will consider that for a little summer project ☀️
Ooo heading over 📖✨🙌🏻
Love your video too! 😊
what a beautiful idea, Claire! Do you prefer the books be physical books or could it include e-books?
I don’t mind - the original idea was for folks to get mail because it feels so nice to receive but you can use electronic ways if you can see them?
Ok good to know, thanks!

Ok I’ll head to chat!! I think so….
I love questions they help me get it all clearer.
